Naive outlook

August 30, 2005|By Roger W. Peck.

Long Grove — The people who participated in the recent peace vigil are naive at best. If the United States removed all of its troops from Iraq tomorrow, the war would continue but with even more ferocity. The terrorists, spare me the moniker of "insurgents," would continue to assassinate judges, government officials and police officers. They would continue to blow up innocent civilians all for the sake of their warped vision of society.

If these protesters want to stop the war, they should be looking to the terrorists to stop the murder and mayhem, not our government.
